Hope takes flight... Mandates are still legal in Tennessee, no matter what Amendment One and the Rhea County Government might say.

More than 50%

When you add all the votes for congress nationwide for Democrats and Republicans, the Dems received like 55% of the vote to less than 45% for GOPers, and independents getting the rest. The vote was strongly Democratic. The Senate was very similar.

Sounds like a mandate to me! And I said that to a VP at my company who is conservative Republican. She laughed.
